or Fogo, one of the Cape de Verd islands, in the Atlantic ocean. It is much higher than any of the rest; and seems, at sea, to be one single mountain, though on the sides there are deep valleys. There is a volcano at the top, which burns continually, and may be seen a great way off at sea. It vomits a great deal of fire and smoke, and throws out huge pieces of rock to a vast height; and sometimes torrents of melted matter run down the sides. The Portuguese, who first inhabited it, brought negro slaves with them, and a flock of cows, horses, and hogs; but the chief inhabitants now are blacks, of the Romish religion. W. Long. 24° 47'. N.
